HESPERIA — Authorities are still searching for two men suspected of breaking into a local trailer dealer here last weekend.

The suspects remain at large following the incident, which occurred at Carson Trailer and JMF Trailer Parts at 11494 Mariposa Road just after 12:30 a.m. on March 3.

San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department officials said the men broke into the store twice that morning and took two trailers, along with various parts and tools.

The first theft occurred at 12:33 a.m. when the men “forced entry” into the store and stole a black 2018 Carson two-axle car hauler trailer. They came back again at 5:15 a.m. and made off with a 2018 black Carson two-axle dump trailer, officials said.

“Before leaving the premises, the suspects forced entry into two storage containers on the property and stole multiple wheels/tires, trailer accessories and tools,” officials said. “During both thefts, the suspects fled the scene southbound on Mariposa Avenue.”

Officials said the duo took off in a 1997-2002 dark-colored Chevrolet Silverado lifted with step bars and with dents to the right rear fender and right rear door. Small stickers are located on the bottom corners of the rear window.

The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information about this crime is urged to contact Investigator Zak Wenger of the San Bernardino County Auto Theft (SANCATT) at 909-388-4898 or zwenger@sbcsd.org.
